55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 You guys, I am SO SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last night I was at work (during the game) and my bracelet from the second game broke and I lost the H from my Homer beads. I actually lost both the T and the H, but I found the T. I work in a plant that makes PVC pipe fittings, and I'm in the injection molding part, so we have plastic pellets going into all the machines that are the size and colour of my beads. We literally have silos full of them. Everywhere you look, there are little white pellets the size of beads in the floor. I swept under the machines (I'm guessing for the first time in years) and there was no H. I came home and remade all my bracelets with dental floss, which is stronger than thread, and I am using only one strand per game rather than one per goal, with them tied together per game. Hopefully this will bring us better luck. No one asked me what the bracelets were for until I was in a panic looking for the H, now everyone at work knows. It's all my fault we lost. I was so afraid that I'd come home and find Homer was injured. OK, new bracelets. Strong bracelets. Good, strong bracelets for the WIN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut40 176 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) It's all my fault we lost. I was so afraid that I'd come home and find Homer was injured. Awww FiveFive, don't say that *Gives 55 a hug*! I'm pretty sure it was the defence's fault. Everyone at school makes fun of me for liking the Red Wings. In sewing, my friends come up to me and are like "Oh Red Wings lost. I guess you need another white thread." I'm being persecuted I tell you! Edited April 18, 2008 by wingnut40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Franzen and Holmer have been shut up. I think it's a little of that, and he just looked real tired the other night and I think he might still be in quite a bit of pain. I think those things combined have taken their toll. Poor homer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 I have found the answer. I was at work again last night and one of the white threads broke. I saved all the beads this time. There wasn't enough string left to tie it back on, so I used the Ultimate Power in the Universe . Yes, Duct Tape. I restrung the beads, taped the ends of all the threads together at each end, and now I have an unbreakable band, held in unity with the silvery miracle representing the silver of the Cup that we are all united in our Quest to Win. The tide has indeed turned. The Wings are destined to win. I have a faith as strong as Duct Tape. As a side note: I was stringing the beads and the last one had the letters PDPD since Pavel scored twice in that game. My friend, who doesn't follow hockey looked at it and asked, "Who's Popo?"

FedorovGurl 2 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 My bracelets are hanging in there; none have broken so far..... BUT I have to say that I don't think embroidery floss was meant to be wet. Mine get ratty and a bit yukky after my shower. They don't stink (yet) because I have been dousing them in my perfume. But I am staying true to the whole bracelet idea til the end. GO WINGS!!!

LadyWildcat 4 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 One of my white ones was getting loose last night (I think it knows it shouldn't be on my wrist), so I wrapped a small piece of tape around the knot on each bracelet. Hopefully that'll be enough to keep them on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzermania19 1 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Mine are all good so far - the knots seem to be holding tight, the red has not bled on to the white, and they look fine after several showers/baths. They keep twisting around each other, though. so much so that one of my coworkers asked me yesterday, "what's with the candy cane bracelet?" LOL I will, however, keep the duct tape in mind, in case I need a repair. It's probably the strongest stuff on the planet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 One more quick word of advice: Since I'm using dental floss, I have to colour the red ones. My advice is this: Make sure you are using Permanent Marker. When mine broke last night, people thouht I was bleeding because my wrist was red. This message has been a public service announcement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
